NBA Trades 2013: List of Deals Leading Up to Deadline

The 2013 NBA trading deadline was all flash and little substance, as many of the rumored deals that would have seen legitimate superstars switch teams never came to fruition.

However, plenty of minor exchanges took place, and some promise to impact the NBA landscape for the rest of the 2012-13 season and well into the future.

Many of these trades happened to either clear cap space to avoid the luxury threshold and dreaded “repeater tax” in 2014 (as the Golden State Warriors successfully accomplished), open up a roster space for a signing (as the New York Knicks did and inked Kenyon Martin to a 10-day contract), acquire a high-potential rookie (which Rockets GM Daryl Morey did by fleecing Sacramento for Thomas Robinson) or just to switch things up (the Dahntay Jones for Anthony Morrow trade comes to mind).

Let’s take a look at all of the trades and transactions that went down leading up to the 2013 deadline that passed at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 21.
